Figure 5 is a A View of {the case for the he of soap. The case comprises a box a one -61": the F large side facesof which is -coiistituted byv a --lid Mprovideda itlivga-idingesectors msuit ably a *anged sc a's to slide on' guide screws or studs (lfixed tothe sidewalls Gift-118 190); a of the case.

On this lid-is arranged--- a frame orplatform f provided with guide studs 9 =aldapted I to movein laterals lides h while-placed on either side of ihe-lid-is provided a -'sli d i-ng tongue ifor Working the platform.

This platform carries -cu-ps j f'or example-ofcircular form: intended: to receive cases on 42 containing a shaving bruslr and a cake of soap respect-ively. Between: these cases i is arranged r a sheath- -0 receiving for example a safety v razor p ef any -suitable pattern.

'1, 1921. Serial No 457,520.

Thecasemdor theshaving brush of cylindrical lform'for example is provided in its 'interior with a lining preferably of an v: absorbent and antiseptic character and has at i-ts upperpa-rt a dool Q '(see' Figure #l) whichpermitsof the introduction easily of r the shaving brush into its box Withoutit *being necessary tocompress the bristles o1": thebrush during its introduction. A- collar 9 made around the neckofthe brush forms 'one part of the cover for the case mlieeping -the door g in the'close d position When the "b ush is-not in use and w-hen the brush is in use it may serve to catch the Water Which runs-out of the bristles of the brush. This 1 collar '2" constii tes at the same time a be-a ring surface =Which =-permits when the shaving brush is: moi nentarily put down, of

introducing the sleeve' downward on its'case, the bristles being I then placedvertically in, "the-air:Without coming into contactat all u' 'i-th the surrounding objects.

"The cake of soap, -whichis of the --usual tor m, is' 'firm ly attached in A any: suitable way, iforexa-inple by the aid of-a screw thread,

to a. sleeve r provided With 'a'bollar s which l il;ewise tor-ms a cover -Eor closing a case t intended to contain the soap. A -mirror u :arranged': ini'the' box a (see F igure 2) may sliid-e i-n laterahgrooves madein this bore and b e withdrawntrenr this box; through a lon- :Ygitndinaliopening o ;inthe :upper p art of the box en djtheirplaced as shown in Figures 1 wand 2' in a rcroove l made ffor this purposeat ie-iu-ppe 1 pa'rtot the -box.

A lhand'le a: p rovidedi for conveniently carryingTthewcase about 211iCl-1110V8ibl8 stops y may be provided at the lower part thereof which stops may QltllQl bGy 3S ShOlVl1,'out Q side "or preferably arranged to slide inside it andxhave outside an operating button such 218 2.

T0 use this casethe' lid 6 is first turned 'doivnby releasing the: spring 0- which brings theparts' intothe: positionof Figures 1- and then lay -pulling the tongue theplatform "f is brought into the: position of Figure 2, the instruments being then clisengagedfrom ithe'box -ot the case. The shaving brushand xthe:so-ap are used in the usual Way and the raZor may-be placed ina Waiting position by ibeing suspended between. the arms of the tongue 2'. llhile in use the case may he stood :on a "table:or'snspended from a nail orirom a window fastening or in any other desired and comprising a container including a lid place it being, if necessary, held in a suit able position by means of grips y which are provided to furnish a support for the lower part of the case.

After the apparatus has been used, the mirror u is put back in its place as shown in dot and dash lines in Figure 2, the shaving brush is placed in its box m care being taken to close the door 9 before screwing the cover collar r down into place, the soap 6 is next placed in its case and the two cases are then replaced in the cups j 71; and the platform pushed back into the position shown in Figures 1 and 3. The lid is then turned up into place, the platform f occupying during this operation a position approximately parallel with the bottom of the case a. By means of an enlargement to made at the lower end of the slide it the cases m n and 0 remain parallel with the bottom of the case during the whole of the closing movement and are kept in this position, once the lid has been completely pushed back into its closed position.

The case might contain for example in its lower part, left free between the platform 7 and the bottom usual objects such as for example a strop, a case containing razor blades, etc. Instead of a safety razor one or more razors of the usual form may of course be accommodated. The case may be constructed of wood, metal or any suitable material covered or not with a covering ofleather or any other substance. The composition of the case may naturally be modified so as to adapt it to other uses.

The form of the various parts may naturally vary without departing from the spirit of the invention. The arrangement of the door 9 of the case for the shaving brush may differ from that shown. This door might be of rectangular section and of larger or smaller dimensions. The case m might also be constituted by two half cylinders opening along meeting edges in which the shaving brush would be enclosed by keeping these half cylinders together by the collar 1*.

What I claim is:

1. A case constituting a shaving requisite and comprising a container having a side thereof mounted to swing with respect to the body of the container, said side serving as a lid, a latching member for holding the lid closed, a sliding and oscillatory platform mounted on the lid, said platform being movable into and out of the interior of the container, means carried by the platform for receiving a plurality of toilet articles ordinarily used in shaving, and guiding means operating constantly to keep the platform in suitable position with respect to the lid.

2. A case constituting a shaving requisite movably attached to the body of the container, a platform movably supported on the lid, means carried by said platform for holding a toilet article, and means for guiding the platform in its movements and for limiting such movements.

3. A case, comprising a body having one side open and provided with a door hinged to the bottom of the body for closing said open side of the body, a platform, and means pivotally and slidingly mounting the platform wholly on the hinged side of the body, whereby the platform can be slid outwardly on the hinged side when the side is open and be slid inwardly on the side and supported adjacent to and parallel with the bottom of the case when the said side is closed.

4. A case comprising a container having a body open at one side and including a bottom and having a side wall swingingly attached adjacent to its lower end to the body and being movable to and from position to close the open side of the case, a

platform in parallel relation to the bottom when the side wall is in open and in closed positions and for permitting movement of the platform from a position in which it is entirely disposed within the body of the container when the swingable side wall is in closed position to a position in which the platform is extended from the container body when the swingable side wall of the container is in open position, and means carried by said platform on its upper side for removably holding articles used in shavmg.

5. A case comprising a container having a body open at one side and including a bottom and having a side wall swingingly attached adjacent to its lower end to the body and being movable to and from position to close the open side of the case, a platform adapted to be received within the container body, cooperative guiding and retaining elements carried by the swingable side wall and the platform for holding the platform in parallel relation to the bottom when the side is in open and in closed positions and for permitting movement of the platform from a position in which it is entirely disposed within the body of the container when the swingable side wall is in closed position to a position in which the platform is extended from the container body when the swingable side wall of the container is in open position, and means carried by said platform on its upper side for removably holding articles used in shav ing, said container body having a vertical slot through its Walls open at the upper end of the container body for receiving a removable mirror.

6. A case comprising a container having a body open at one side and including a bottom and having a side Wall swingingly attached adjacent to its lower end to the body and being movable to and from posi tion to close the open side of the case, a platform adapted to be received Within the container body, cooperative guiding and retaining elements carried by the swingable side Wall and the platform for holding the platform in parallel relation to the bottom when the side is in open and in closed positions and for permitting movement of the platform from a position in which it is entirely disposed Within the body of the container when the swingable side Wall is in closed position to a position in which the plat form is extended from the container body When the swingable side Wall of the container is in open position, means carried by said platform on its upper side for removably holding articles used in shaving, said container body having a vertical slot through its Walls open at the upper end of the container body for receiving a removable mirror, and a handle upstanding from the container body and adapted to serve as a rest for the mirror when the latter has been removed from the slot and is positioned upon the container body.

In testimony I have hereunto set my hand.
